Slammers (was Background?/SGII Newbie)

I don't know about this whole thread. I'd be happy to play, say DSII, in the
Slammers universe. I'd also be happy to run the "Indig" forces or another
mercenary force, and I'd do my best to hand it to the Slammers on a plate. Of
course I think that this sort of play, developed setting with one powerful
force, can be played successfully with careful consideration to the design of
a scenario.

I'm sure that most wargamers will agree that a fair and balanced game is one
in which each side has a reasonable chance of achieving their specific
objectives. These objectives are then made more challenging by the opposing
forces or the scenario itself. For instance, in Slammers game why not pit the
HS against another well equipped mercenary force or a weakened HS force
attempting to breakthrough an overwhelming Indig force. The same can be said
for the Honor Harrington series, it seems to me that the Manticoran & Peoples
Republic are not the only factions in this setting. Why not develop some of
the others as well.

What you mean there's people that don't like playing the bad guys or
underdogs?
